Census data show the gap between the rich and poor to be the widest since the government began collecting information in 1947 and that this gap is continuing to grow” (Mantsios 150). Kim Kardashian, Oprah, Stephan Curry, Denzel Washington all of which who makes ten times more than an ‘average’ adult salary wise. All of which superstars don’t need to give out money left and right, but just those alone set the precedent that the rich will…

viewers to obtain from this video is that once you become a mother, your sexuality should not be taken away from you and you should be allowed to own your body and yourself as a sexual woman without backlash from the media (much like the backlash Kim Kardashian faced for being a mother and posting nude selfies.) This message is important and one of female empowerment, and I think the music video depicts it well. The foundation of female empowerment is arguable because of the slight presence…

The Men We Carry in Our Minds Gender equality has been a very popular subject scattered throughout the years. Many historic events have been achieved in the last century. The 1920s women were given the right to vote. Now in 2016, nearly one hundred years later a woman is running for president. Scott Sanders addresses women 's rights in his nonfiction story, “The Men We Carry in Our Minds,” but in way that makes you think of both men and women, thus giving an open door for it turning into gender…

Casual sex is a very controversial topic. Many view casual sex as psychologically damaging, harmful to society, and even dangerous. But these critics fail to acknowledge the benefits of casual sex, especially from the perspective of women. In the essay, I will argue that women should have casual sex because it is ultimately empowering because it increases confidence, emotional stability, and releases inhibition. Casual sex allows women to be in control of their own sexuality and free from…

In the Novel the Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald he shows how Tom and Daisy represent upper class. High social class in the 1920’s is pretty much the millionaires and the rich like Donald Trump, who are crazy about money and do not care who they hurt. Like most of the celebrities that get into trouble they can avoid trouble because they are rich they can get themselves out of trouble. In the 1920’s the higher class could truly do what they want because they have money and can pay people off.…

Looks don’t matter. It’s what’s on the inside that counts. Beauty isn’t just a pretty face. We are told these things every day by our parents, friends, and even the media. But, if looks don’t matter, why do 80% of girls wake up every morning feeling worthless because they are dissatisfied with their bodies (Ross, Carolyn Coker)? Why do girls starve themselves, hurt themselves, and judge themselves when a boy tells her she isn’t pretty? If looks don’t matter, why do most of the girls at…

When people think of influential personalities on social media, one immediate reaction might be to think of big personalities like Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, or Donald Trump. While these celebrities are influential and famous in their own way, there is another type of account that appeals to many – the one-manned operated fictional character account. On Twitter, Cloyd Rivers (@CloydRivers) fits this description rather accurately. With his beliefs on the conservative side, Cloyd Rivers prides…

Who is your role model? Is it a upbeat positive celebrity like Taylor Swift , Ellen DeGeneres or Johnny Deep? Or is it a stone cold celebrity like Kanye West , Kim Kardashian or Miley Cyrus. Some people may think all celebrities give negative impacts to us no matter how good they do and that they are not supposed to be categorized as role models. However I define a role model as a person who inspires us to do good in life. So I believe that celebrities can be categorized as role models. However…

In Stephen Tanner’s The Art of Self-Deprecation in American Literary Humor, he explains self-deprecating humor as a means for the reader to understand the writer on a relatable level. He writes, “The reader, instead of feeling superior to the character, sympathizes with him or her and feels, ‘Here’s a person who suffers much the same frustrations I do…’” (55). In Fey’s case, she uses herself as the character and explains to her reader, females in particular, how she is different from the…

if only the once great empires of the past had understood this iconic proverb. Perhaps then, empires such as Rome would not have fallen. The common misconception is that they fell due to moral decrepitude, but in reality, it came down to their irresponsible use of funds to support the many wars they participated in with the Germanic tribes and others. They taxed the Roman people to the point of poverty in attempts to sustain their power. Their lack of economic knowledge and the eagerness for war…
